[new feature] private messages & contacts system

Saw that....neat neat neat!

Hi Julien

How do I find other members do you have a directory of them.

I would just love to get hold of other expats here in Abu Dhabi as I dont really know any one yet.

Many thanks

Have a look to the expat network section

how i cant send massages thats really bad
its said i had to active my privet masage

You are probably in the same case than I am, you need to post in the forum to activate fully your PM box, it is a kind of spamming protection.

I fully understand the protection issues but how many postings will it take to activate the PM functions because I have received PM & was looking to reply to them?

Hello Zezeloeusid, Guillaume83 and Javertjs,
This post by Julien: Anti spam system & new rules explains why private mail boxes are sometimes blocked for newcomers
But I trust that by now your private mail box is unblocked! Could you give it a try?

hi we cant send private messages what is wrong ?

If you have taken the time to read any of the hundreds of other postings about private messages you would know that you must participate in the forums in order to "activate" your private message privileges. The more you participate the larger your mailbox capacity becomes. That's all.

Also, do not send out copy and paste messages in the private message system - We have an Anti-Spam System that will automatically lock your mailboxes out if you send more the 5 copy and pastes.
